Hi, I have recently purchased a 2004 Liberty and unaware of its previous history, have been working through the service schedule. Everything has been straight forward and enjoyable but I am confused with the diesel filter. This appears to require a paper/card element rather than the metal "spin on" type which is the only type that is available at my local friendly parts store. The metal bowl has printed around the side “This bowl is reusable” but has no part number for a replacement filter.

Also please can I ask how to bleed this filter assembly; the head is different to others that I have seen. Does it have a pump and bleed nipple please?

Very many thanks for any help, Peter.

You should be able to use the Racor R25S filter that is used on the aftermarket heads some of us in the US have gone with. (Reference: http://liberty.eurekaboy.com/racor.htm )

The knob in the middle unscrews and is your priming pump, and the hex plug on the top is where the air will bleed out of.

Kaspin,

Thank you very much for the information and the reference article; that's a great help to me.

Best wishes, Peter.
